It was reported that a one-storey building collapsed on Sunday morning, July 14, 2024, around the Sabo area of Osogbo.
Governor Ademola Adeleke had in a reaction through his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, warned developers and residents against construction of houses without approved building plans.
The initial report on the number of trapped victims was not certain as the spokesperson of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, in the state, Adeleke Kehinde gave the figure at five persons.
Adeleke also added that the command had earlier, in a report dated June 10, warned that the building that was being used as a hiding place by hoodlums was a threat to the people in the area.
However, the Nigeria police said out of the two persons rescued, one sustained visible injuries while the other was uninjured.
